Kids for Kosovo

Kids for Kosovo is a small, volunteer-run nonprofit based in Liberty, Missouri, that raises money and supplies to improve public schools in Kosovo. The organization was founded in 2017 and is registered as a charity under EIN 82-1285264, with annual revenue of about $16,557 reported to the IRS.

The group's work centers on school infrastructure: repairing bathrooms, building libraries and playgrounds, and supplying desks, chairs, computers, and books to schools that need them. Beyond its core education focus, the organization has also completed a project at a hospital in Ferizaj, Kosovo. Its self-described mission pairs those physical improvements with cross-cultural understanding, framed as building a bridge between students in the U.S. and Kosovo.

Much of the day-to-day work is carried out by young volunteers. As the organization puts it on its charity listings, the fundraisers, classes, and work parties are organized and run by kids, with adults assisting. LinkedIn classifies it as a civic and social organization with one employee, consistent with its all-volunteer structure.

Allen Jones II is publicly identified on the group's Facebook page as the initiator of Kids for Kosovo, with ties to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints congregation in Liberty. The organization keeps an active presence on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn under the Kids for Kosovo name, and is listed on GuideStar and eBay for Charity.

While Kids for Kosovo is not structured as a diaspora membership group, its Kosovo-focused educational mission places it within the broader network of U.S.-based organizations supporting Albanian communities abroad.
